Check all the wiring. Especially if the truck was wrecked, the wiring can easily be damaged and something simple as one broken wire can shut the whole operation down. Working in a wrecking yard, i have one more than one occasion been caught by one single cut wire buried within a harness that wouldn't allow the engine to get spark.

and depending on the accident... fuses, fusible links, etc. could've blown as well.
